Do nine-ending prices really work?  Will £9.99 sell more than £10.00? Can it be used for high-quality products? What about hedonic products? Can it be used on speed limits?  For years this debate has raged on. But today on Nudge, I speak with pricing expert Dr Markus Husemann-Kopetzky to settle the argument. ---  Markus' book: https://amzn.to/46Hetcg  Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Join 10,534 readers of my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/  --- Today's sources:  Gendall, P.

Schindler, Heinz www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Nachspiel

Description

Hans Calmeyer rettete im Zweiten Weltkrieg mehr Juden als Oskar Schindler. Der Rechtsanwalt aus Osnabrück bewahrte als Mitarbeiter in der Besatzungsbehörde in Den Haag Tausende niederländische Juden vor der Deportation – und doch ist er umstritten. Wember, Heiner www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

On the March Episode Of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast, we explore everything from the war in Mexico...the war between Netflix and Paramount...the war between DJ and Kiki Palmer...the war between Schindler's List and humor...and the war between Oscar winners and silence. All that and more on this latest episode.

In this interactive Q&A episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses listener questions on a range of Jewish topics, starting with a critique of the musical/film Fiddler on the Roof. He argues it has harmed American Judaism by portraying Jewish observance as mere "tradition" rather than divine Torah commandments, leading to shaky foundations where practices become optional or emotion-based, rather than rooted in absolute truth and commitment to God. He contrasts this with the unbreakable commitment seen in truly Torah-observant individuals (e.g., refusing to desecrate Shabbos for any price) and ties the title's "fiddler on the roof" imagery to instability without Torah's protective "fence" (ma'akeh, the biblical requirement for railings on roofs to prevent falls).Other questions cover practical halacha, such as the sea splitting being on dry land (citing explicit verses in Exodus 14:29 and 15:19, not just midrash), kosher meat preferences (no halachic preference for rare/medium/well-done once kosher; focus on certified kosher and avoiding waste), grace after meals (Birkat Hamazon applies after bread; dessert is part of the meal for Birkat but not satiating, so separate brachot may apply), and the spies' sin (not lying about the land, but lacking self-belief and positive self-view, leading to negativity).The discussion extends to self-esteem as a mitzvah-like belief in oneself (paralleling belief in God), modesty in Torah knowledge, reflections on Schindler's List (a wake-up call against regret for not doing more mitzvos), handling late guests at meals (start reasonably without ruining Shabbos peace), beautifying mitzvos (zeh Eli v'anveihu – seeing God and glorifying Him with the best), Tu B'Shvat as a Rosh Hashanah for trees/produce/Torah growth (a powerful time for prayer on livelihood, learning, and shidduchim), and the era of Moshiach (clarity where the world recognizes Hashem as One, ending confusion/war, with righteous non-Jews welcomed in a house of prayer for all nations).Throughout, Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes intentional Judaism (kavanah), trusting Hashem (Hashem li lo ira – no fear when God is the pilot), avoiding anxiety through emunah, and prioritizing eternal mitzvos over fleeting concerns.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Research just out shows new blood tests can now detect Alzheimer's-related changes years before symptoms begin. Dr. Suzanne Schindler says these findings help estimate how long that window may be. Once Alzheimer's-related changes begin to rise in the blood, “it creates kind of a clock for us,” Schindler, a clinical neurologist at Washington University School […] The post Alzheimer's: New Research on When Symptoms Start & Prevention appeared first on Healthy Communities Online.

Dr. Bill Schindler joins Airey Bros Radio (ABR 438) for a deep-dive conversation that connects Jersey Shore wrestling culture to ancestral nutrition, anthropology, and real-world health.Bill is Jersey Shore bred — a Red Bank Regional wrestler who went on to compete at Ohio State and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) — before becoming a leading voice in ancestral food systems. He's the author of Eat Like a Human, founder of The Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and a researcher/educator helping families, athletes, and coaches rethink what “healthy eating” actually means.We talk wrestling weight cuts, the mental side of food, why modern diets wreck digestion, and Bill's core idea: humans aren't omnivores by biology — we're omnivores by technology (fire, fermentation, traditional preparation, and bioavailability). Bill also shares practical takeaways for wrestlers, endurance athletes, parents, and coaches, including why he'd consider keto for wrestling and how to start small with changes that compound.In this episode:Jersey Shore wrestling roots (Red Bank Regional, Ohio State, TCNJ)Weight cuts, food fear, binge cycles, and athlete nutrition mistakes“Eat Like a Human” fundamentals: fermentation, bioavailability, real foodSimple family changes that actually last (start with the foods you eat most)Keto, carnivore, and why context + culture matter in nutritionInsects, organ meats, and pushing comfort zones the smart wayWine additives, traditional fermentation, and “food as a system”

Adriana Lestido, an Argentinian newspaper photographer, captured a mother and her young daughter raising their arms in protest in 1982. With clenched fists and anguished faces, they were wearing white handkerchiefs tied around their heads representing the struggle for justice for the disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship.The photo became a symbol of the resistance and is still used today. It embodies the spirit of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo who would meet once a week demanding the return of their loved ones.

In 1980, toxic shock syndrome (TSS) emerged as a public health crisis among women who used tampons. There were hundreds of cases, and The Centers for Disease Control linked deaths from TSS to super-absorbent tampons.The Food and Drug Administration responded by assembling a ‘Tampon Task Force' in 1982 to develop safety standards. A researcher called Nancy King Reame was recruited to run the independent laboratory testing. Her work helped establish the first national absorbency standards for tampons.

During World War Two, whilst Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany, a group of Norwegian sailors set up a base on the Shetland Islands and began aiding their country's resistance. Named “The Shetland Bus” they made perilous journeys across the North Sea in fishing boats - smuggling agents, equipment and ammunition into Norway. Their most famous skipper was Leif Larsen. He made more than 50 journeys to and from occupied Norway during the war and became one of the highest decorated naval officers of World War Two. Tim O'Callaghan tells his story using archive interviews Leif gave to the BBC in 1981 and 1985. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

In November, 1966, Florence suffered one of the worst floods in its history after heavy rainfall caused the River Arno to burst.The Italian city was submerged under tons of mud, rubble and sewage, leaving thousands homeless and destroying around 14,000 art treasures, and millions of books and manuscripts.Among those who came to the rescue were the so-called ‘mud angels' – young people from around the world who wanted to help in the clean-up.Antonina Bargellini, then the 22-year-old daughter of the city's mayor, recalls days of deep mud and stinking streets. She tells Jane Wilkinson about what happened.Archive from BBC, British Pathe and Associated Press, plus Florence: Days of Destruction, directed by Franco Zeffirelli in 1966.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In July 1965, a 12km tunnel dug deep beneath the Alps was opened to traffic, making it the longest vehicular tunnel in the world. Linking France and Italy, the Mont Blanc Tunnel was a remarkable feat of engineering. Franco Cuaz, a consultant on the project and the tunnel's first operations manager, spoke to Mike Lanchin in 2017 about the risks and challenges of the ambitious project.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Gina Lollobrigida was one of the biggest stars of European cinema in the 1950s and 1960s. Often described as "the most beautiful woman in the world", her films included Beat the Devil, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Crossed Swords. She was fawned over by Howard Hughes, one of the world's richest men, and co-starred alongside the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson and Errol Flynn. But later in life, she reinvented herself as an artist and photographer. In 1974, she secured an exclusive photo shoot and interview with Cuban leader Fidel Castro, during which he gave her his watch as a gift. Ben Henderson tells her story using BBC archive.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

In July 1989, Pink Floyd played a free concert to 200,000 people in Venice, Italy. The British rock band took to a stage made of floating barges as crowds of fans watched from boats, gondolas and rooftops. The show was also broadcast worldwide to an estimated 100 million viewers in over 20 countries. But, behind the scenes, the gig was marred by controversy. Concerns about crowd numbers and the potential damage the noise could do to the city's historical buildings nearly saw the show called off. But no one could have predicted it would bring down the city's politicians. Italian music promoter, Fran Tomasi, who worked with the band and came up with the idea for the show, talks to Emma Forde.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

During World War Two, Italian scientist Dr Rita Levi-Montalcini was forced to do experiments in her bedroom after being banned from universities because she was Jewish. Her experiments in that bedroom laboratory on chicken embryos led to the discovery of nerve cell death. Whilst working in the United States after the war, she worked out that a protein factor was required for the growth of our nerves. A discovery which won her the Nobel Prize in physiology in 1986. Her work improved our understanding of the nervous system and has allowed scientists to potentially battle degenerative diseases such as dementia. Produced and presented by Tim O'Callaghan, using archive interviews from the Nobel Prize Institute, the Society for Neuroscience and the BBC Archives. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

The story of Alexander von Zemlinsky's The Mermaid begins with a passionate love affair and ends in heartbreak of the most unabashedly big-R Romantic kind. In 1900, the young, fabulously talented, and famously beautiful Alma Schindler came to Zemlinsky's home to study composition. Wildly passionate feelings soon developed between them, and Alma wrote the following in her diary: "I would gladly be pregnant for him, gladly bear his children. His blood and mine, commingled: my beauty with his intellect. I would gladly serve him in his professional life, live for him and his kith and kin, breathe [for him], attend to his every happiness, serve him with a gentle hand. God give me the strength and the willpower to do so." The relationship lasted a little over a year, until one night when Schindler attended a party that happened to be frequented by a brilliant conductor and composer twenty years her senior: Gustav Mahler. The rest is history. Zemlinsky was devastated and poured his energies into a tone poem based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The source may seem surprising, but as we'll see later on, it proved to be the perfect vehicle for Zemlinsky to exorcise the tortured memories of this turbulent relationship. For a long time, however, the score was lost. It wasn't until the 1980s that the full work was reconstructed, and it has since become one of Zemlinsky's most frequently performed pieces. And it's not hard to see why. The Mermaid is a forty-minute tone poem that, from start to finish, overflows with fin-de-siècle romanticism, very much in the vein of Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night). It is a work of irresistible beauty and passion, and it is being played more and more as Zemlinsky's name begins to take its rightful place in the standard canon of composers. Today on the show, I'll tell you a bit more about Zemlinsky in case you're not familiar with him, read more of the unbearably passionate letters and diary entries from both Zemlinsky and Alma Schindler, and, of course, walk you through the heartbreakingly beautiful music of The Mermaid, showing how Zemlinsky balances narrative and abstract form, and how he created this opulent, lush, and profoundly moving score.

In September 1991, two German hikers found a dead body while walking through Europe's Ötzal Alps. It turned out to be a perfectly preserved 5,000-year-old mummy. The archaeologist Konrad Spindler inspected the body along with the assemblage of items recovered from the gravesite. A person of this age had never been found before in such exceptional condition. They'd lived during the transition between the stone and copper ages, and provided a snapshot into early human culture, medicine and genetics. Hunter Charlton tells the story through archive interviews with the archaeologist Konrad Spindler and forensic pathologist Rainer Henn who were involved in recovering, analysing and preserving the mummy.

In May 1986, a new airport opened in Knock in the west of Ireland. It was the dream of an Irish priest, Monsignor James Horan, who raised millions to have it built. The location for the airport seemed impossible – set in the boggy, foggy hills of rural County Mayo. However, Knock attracts more than a million pilgrims every year, who come to visit the supposed site of an apparition by the Virgin Mary and other saints. So, Horan convinced politicians that this remote western landscape could host a gateway to the world, and service the pilgrims who come to visit the shrine of Knock. Pearce Concannon was working at the local Knock Shrine when the airport opened and remembers when Horan asked him to quit his job and become a firefighter at his new airport. He speaks to Colm Flynn.
